A Bit About Me

A Bit About Me

Nearly two decades of turning messy problems into better products — and better ways of working.

I'm a product designer from Leeds, now based in Berlin. I've been making things since before it was a job — Lego, Sim City, paint, pencils, plasticine. Eventually that led to a Multimedia Technology degree, a brief ambition to direct music videos, and then interfaces and code got in the way.

I've worked across agencies, startups, and big companies — often landing at the awkward moments where the team is in transition, the process is a work in progress, and someone needs to get on with it. I'm as comfortable helping shape how a team works as I am designing the product itself.

Outside work: family, a small Greek dog, guitar, too many podcasts, and the ongoing emotional labour of supporting Leeds United. 🦚

Discovery & Research

Getting to the actual problem before designing a thing. The "why" underpins every decision that follows.

Interaction & UI Design

Concepts to production-ready screens. Don't over-solve. Don't over-engineer. Make it work first.

Design Systems

Patterns that scale and don't haunt us later. Small, considered decisions that add up to a consistent whole.

Delivery

Still there when it ships to tweak, rework, and iterate. Ownership means seeing it through — not just until the handoff and the next initiative on the roadmap.

Collaboration

Cross-functional, collaborative, no politics. Push back when it matters but know which battles to fight and when.

What I Do

What I Do

I'm relocating to Helsinki, Finland in 2026 and looking for product designs roles there or remote — ideally in a product-led company where design has genuine influence on direction, not just execution.

I work best in cross-functional teams tackling real operational or consumer problems. I'm not looking for a purely execution role — I want to be involved in shaping what gets built and why.

Open to full-time and contract. Happy to talk.

My Principles

What's Next?

What Next?

Discovery & Research

Getting to the actual problem before picking up a pencil. The "why" matters more than the brief.

Interaction & UI Design

Concepts to production-ready screens. Don't over-solve. Don't over-engineer. Just make it work well.

Design Systems

Patterns that scale and don't haunt you later. Small, considered decisions that add up to something consistent.

Delivery

Still there when it ships. Ownership means seeing it through — not just until the handoff deck is done.

Working With People

Cross-functional, collaborative, no politics. I'll push back when it matters and get on with it when it doesn't.


Best suited to complex, ambiguous problems where design needs to be in the room early — not just called in at the end to make it look nice.
